Nicely done. But I'm not convinced it will persuade suburbanites to
leave their cars at home. And I rarely see a bus lane work as well as
the one in the video - in central London your journey is as likely to be
held up by other buses and taxis as it is by cars! Do many suburban
routes have all-day bus lanes?

Buses are shocking forms of transport, dirty, getting more exspensive
all the time and total crap in outer London. I teach in S Croydon and
commute from Grove Park, near Bromley. A bus journey would tkae a ten
minute walk to the correct bus stop this end, then at least two buses to
the other end before another ten minute walk - A 25 - 30 minute journey
in my car becomes well over an hour by bus. No thanks.
